: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) śṅkٲ (अशङ्कि�) refers to “being free of doubt�, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “One should not behave (with disrespectful) intimacy with (any) act of speech, mind or body. Whatever is to be done for the teacher, (the disciple) should do it free of doubt (śṅkٲ)�.
2) Āśṅkitā (आशङ्किता) refers to “being troubled�, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] Now the goddess was troubled (śṅk) and her body was bent with shyness. (Thus her) form as the ‘crooked one� came into being with (its) subtle, crooked limp but even then, the lord, blooming with joy, took the hand of the goddess and sat her on his lap. [...]�.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
